- Our legitimate interests to process your information when providing you with customer service support, to serve targeted marketing of our Services, for fraud prevention and security purposes; and
- On contractual necessity to process information when you create a POTs Account, and enable us to provide you with our Services.

We use internal and third-party analytics technologies to collect information about how you use our Services, your computer or device and the health of our Services. Our web platform uses Google Analytics for this purpose.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information, both individually and combined together, in the following ways.

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to provide our Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

We may also de-identify, anonymise, or aggregate the information we collect, or collect it in a way that does not directly identify you. We may use and share such information as necessary for our business purposes and as permitted by applicable law.

We do not share, sell (as the term is defined under applicable privacy laws), or disclose your personal information, except as described in this policy.

As mentioned above, payment services are provided by third-party payment providers. We do not collect and share your payment card data with them — they collect and process it directly, and none of it is kept by us. Please review the relevant provider's privacy policy to understand how they handle your data.

Depending on the event and the payment method you choose, payments may be processed by one of the following providers:

Stripe
SumUp (card payments)
PayPal
Mercado Pago
Google Pay
Nexi

Some events are settled without an online gateway — by bank transfer, Western Union, cryptocurrency, or directly with the Event Organiser. In those cases the payment details you provide are handled by the Event Organiser or the relevant financial institution, not by Points of Tango.

Event Organisers. Where you register for or purchase a ticket to an event, certain personal data may be shared with the relevant Event Organiser solely for the purposes of event management, registration, legal compliance, and customer support.

Event Organisers act as independent data controllers in respect of the personal data they receive and are responsible for processing such data in accordance with applicable data protection laws and their own privacy policies.

Disclosures to protect us or others. We may access, preserve, and disclose any information we store associated with you to external parties if we, in good faith, believe doing so is required or appropriate to: comply with law enforcement or national security requests and legal process, such as a court order or subpoena; protect your, our or others' rights, property, or safety; enforce our policies or contracts; collect amounts owed to us; or assist with an investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity. In particular, if we receive a report that you have violated our policies, we may disclose that report and other relevant information to the platform on which you share this account.

Disclosure in the event of merger, sale, or other asset transfer. In the event of a reorganization, divestiture, merger, sale or bankruptcy, we may transfer all information we collect to the relevant third party and will obtain your consent to do so if required by law or contract.

Third-party plugins. When third-party technologies or social tools are integrated into our Services, those third parties may collect information about your use of our Services. An example is the Facebook “Like” button.

With Your Consent. We may share information with other third parties with your express consent, unless otherwise described above. For example, you may agree to us sharing your information with a certain company or organization to hear about their products, services, or promotions, or if you tell us that you want to link your POTs Account with another company’s services. Use of the information you agree to share will be subject to those third parties' respective privacy notices.

5. Where We Hold Your Information

Personal information we collect is stored and processed on servers located in the United Kingdom.

Points of Tango lists events all over the world, so the Event Organiser of an event you book may be based outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area. Where that is the case, the personal data needed to manage your booking is shared with that Event Organiser in their country, because doing so is necessary to perform the booking you have asked us to make. As explained in section 4, Event Organisers act as independent data controllers for the data they receive and are responsible for it under their own privacy policies and applicable law.

Where we use service providers who process personal data on our behalf outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, we rely on safeguards recognised under applicable data protection law — for example a transfer to a country covered by an adequacy decision, or Standard Contractual Clauses agreed with that provider.

If you would prefer your details not to be shared with an Event Organiser outside the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area, please do not complete a booking for that event, and contact us instead.

6. How We Protect Your Information

Security of your information is a priority at POTs and we take a range of measures to help protect it, including encryption of sensitive information. Even so, no security measure is 100% perfect. We cannot guarantee the security of your information and do not assume any responsibility for the unauthorized use or access to your information under our control.

7. Your Choices and Controls

We give you meaningful choices when it comes to our collection and use of your information. For example, if you no longer wish to receive marketing emails from POTs, you may click the unsubscribe link included in the footer of every marketing email we send.

Your right to deletion. You may deactivate your POTs Account or delete the personal information associated with your account by contacting us via email at info@pointsoftango.app. If you do so, you will no longer have access to the POTs Services associated with your account. Note that we may retain information needed to resolve disputes, enforce our user agreements, protect our legal rights, and comply with technical and legal requirements and constraints related to the security, integrity and operation of our Services. Otherwise, we will retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide you with, create, and improve our Services, and to comply with the law.

Your right to opt out or object to certain processing. You may have the right to opt out of the sale of your personal information to third parties, if applicable, or object to some processing of your data, where such requests are permitted by law.

If you are located in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

8. Third-Party Services

Our websites and Services may contain advertising or links to third-party services (such as the Facebook “Like” button or links to third-party websites). If you click on those links, including an advertisement, you will leave the POTs Service and go to the third-party service or site that you selected. If you visit a third-party website or use a third-party service, you should consult that service's or site's privacy policy as your use of third-party sites or services is governed by their privacy policies.

9. Changes to Our Policy

We may occasionally update this privacy policy. When we do, we will revise the “updated” date at the top of the policy. If there are material changes to this policy, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes before they take effect or by directly sending you a notification as required under local laws.
